'''Khaos''' is a fictional character in the [[Marvel Comics Universe]]. The royal dark elf Khaos was stolen as an infant to be raised by fair elven royalty. Becoming a mercenary alongside half-elf swordsman Kromm, human archer [[Longstrider]] and elven teknowizards [[Kamendae]] and Quarto, Khaos eventually learned his true identity and purpose: to end the eternal war between [[Irth]]'s many teknomystical races. He succeeded, but the human archmage Ghath attacked Khaos and was inadvertently sent to [[Earth-616]]. Khaos selected a volunteer to go kill Ghath, but the spell malfunctioned, sending Khaos instead. The British team [[Excalibur (comics)|Excalibur]] of 616 followed Ghath and Khaos back to Irth, where Ghath had already gathered his forces for a final assault on Khaos. Excalibur and Khaos's followers defeated Ghath's forces, but when Excalibur returned home, Khaos was accidentally exiled as well. Declining Excalibur membership, Khaos decided to try re-creating Ghath's original teleportation spell to return to his native world and keep it from falling once more into eternal war.

While they share mutual respect, the two always find themselves in opposition. Shen Kuei has no superhuman powers. However, he possesses the normal human strength of a man of his age, height, and builds who engages in intensive regular exercise. An extraordinary hand-to-hand combatant, Shen Kuei is one of the greatest living masters of the Oriental martial arts, whose skill rivals that of Shang-Chi.

He is a student at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, and is a member of Northstar's Alpha Squadron training squad. Kidogo's fellow students vote that he has the "most ironic power" because, although in his normal state he is almost a head taller than anyone else on his squad, his power is shrinking to a height of only four inches.[6] Kidogo was one of the many mutants that lost their powers on M-Day, so he had to leave the Xavier Institute, but he was not on the bus that William Stryker bombed.

Aldrich Killian is a scientist. The character, created by Warren Ellis and Adi Granov, first appeared in Iron Man vol. 4, #1 (January 2005). Within the context of the stories, Killian is a scientist who developed the Extremis virus alongside Maya Hansen. He steals and sells a sample of the virus to domestic terrorists. But unable to cope with the guilt (and his overall negative opinion of himself), he confesses in a note and shoots himself.[7] However, Iron Man later discovered that Maya helped Killian in selling Extremis to the domestic terrorists.[8]

In other media

  • Aldrich Killian is the main antagonist in Iron Man 3, portrayed by Guy Pearce. Director Shane Black specified that Killian was the Marvel Cinematic Universe's version of the Mandarin as signified by the dragon tattoos on Killian's chest, while the idealized image of the terrorist persona acted as Killian's proxy. In the film's climax, Killian reveals himself to be the true alter ego of "the Mandarin" and that he conspired with Vice President Rodriguez to eliminate President Ellis so that Rodriguez could become the new President under Killian's orders.
  • In the Iron Man 3 video game, Aldrich Killian's subconscious is downloaded by A.I.M. to become M.O.D.O.K. after his death in the film. After Iron Man defeated him in combat, he attempted to survive by uploading his consciousness into the network of Stark Industries but Iron Man willingly sacrifices the network (and Stark Industries itself), destroying Killian for good.
  • In the Marvel One-Shot called "All Hail the King," it is revealed that Aldrich Killian is one of the people to pass himself off as the Mandarin which has displeased the real Mandarin.
